New Orleans LA -- The Premedical Office at 91勛圖厙 has been able to confirm that at least 20 Xavier alumni and soon-to-be medical doctors and dentists were successfully matched for first-year residency positions on the traditional Match Day.

For students participating in the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP), or The Match, it is the culmination of a years work to secure a Match, which requires multiple applications, visitations, interviews, and evaluations.
